The answer to your question is yes, in short term spurts. Predicting and guiding the winds of politics is the new investing style, That’s where the real money is.
He is taking shots from the deep state daily and has been brilliant . The Uncivil war rages . With half of Satanist Valley I mean Silicon Valley conspiring to destroy America with the treasonous Obama /Clinton . After a shap run up the markets first swoon happened the day the Nunes memo on the FISA / FBI / DOJ sedation in the US Govt.
Mkt down. - 1400 . A new sherif is in town. In his sights are .... You know because he has already told us. The MSM will not guide you to the light.
Now back to Stormy Daniels.
actually the tariff on a new Chinese made car to the U.S. is 2.5%...the tariff on a new American made car to China is 25%...that is a war...and the Chinese need to be made to understand that...
missiles pointed at the U.S. by North Korea are supplied by China and Russia...that is a war by China and Russia...they both need to know that the first missile fired by the U.S. in retaliation will be to Peking and Moscow...and the world needs to know this...
announce an immediate total embargo of anything made in China until all tariffs and missiles are removed...then we can go forward from there...
and in addition to building a wall with Mexico...how about valuing American lives and build a defense against any and all missiles....
and the crossing of the border from Mexico constitutes an invasion by the Mexican govt and act of war...end the Mexican govt...make them another territory...
just sugar-coating it...
As to Trump's motives, I don't think we have a clue what they are before the fact since he is willing to use any ruse to achieve his goals. I think that most of his tweets are set ups to confuse and manipulate his opponents. He wants them to believe anything, no matter how extreme, is not only on the table but he is considering seriously it. They know he is bluffing but they don't know where the line is. Everything he has achieved to date has been by using this tactic and he will continue to do it even if he has to go overboard occasionally to keep them guessing. Anyone that wants to use him as a means of making investments is a bigger gambler than me. I just need to know how much cash I need in reserve to avoid having to sell in a big down tick.
If you knew at certain times he's likely to tweet about something, you could buy at-the-money calls and puts on QQQ, with the idea any radical tweet will increase volatility (increasing time premium on calls and puts) and may move the market. I thought of Qs instead of AMZN b/c he's already picked on AMZN, and the volatility is probably already priced in. They key would be to open the position, and get out quickly if the tweet is not forthcoming, before you lose too much to time decay.
